Olympic Theatre

“The introduction of burlesque at this theatre last evening was a feature which will recommend the entertainment to a new class of patrons of the drama. With the well chosen variety business given at this house the addition of a fresh, stirring and farcical extravaganza was a welcome attraction, and those who attended the old Olympic, despite the storm which prevailed, so regarded it. The names of Misses Sophie, Irene and Jennie Worrell are familiar to New Yorkers, and their merry pranks in the burlesque of ‘Frivoilus, or the Power of Love,’ were well received last evening. Like the majority of burlesques there is little to say about it but that it was funny, and the sisters made all the fun they could out of the situations, and were not only well received, but many of their songs encored. The variety portion of the bill, which preceded the burlesque, was varied and amusing, and the audience appeared to heartily enjoy the night’s programme.”

“…Master Lambert is a youthful violinist about the size and age of the late Americus, whom he is not totally unlike in appearance and musical ability. He performed a number of popular airs so well as to elicit warm applause and a recall…The average attendance has been fair.”
